  1. Im interested in this too. Im looking at braillie batteries
  2. Go 720p man. Better off with nice looking footage than Sharpe detailed @*!# footage.
  3. Not fast but moving. If you were at a 1/50th shutter speed it would look smoother. I would shoot higher frame rate and lock shutter speed at double your FPS and control exposure manually using iso or F stop for better results
  4. 24fps is great for slow moving subjects and motion blur when combined with a 180 degree shutter (1/50 sec) on dslr. This will allow cinematic motion blur but in the wrong edit it can just look poor quality. I would film at 30fps and make sure your keeping your exposure in check with iso adjustments or nd filters. Adjusting shutter speed is lazy way to control exposure. If I shoot an edit that will need speed adjustments I shoot at 60fps this looks more videoish vs. A more filmic look with a slower fps and more motion blur.

  6. Lookslike a low frame rate recording with high shutter speed. Not much you can do about it to be fair.
  7. Im booked onto a drift day at outline park the start of July, Just wondered if any other 350z were coming along? Thanks.
  8. I know you know... but you know you NEED a new intake manifold... get a hyperfine one! BOSS build Ian!
  9. Had the orbital machine polisher out today giving the black lexus a quick wiz over so I thought I would see if i could sort the Nissan foggy headlights out Before .....

  10. Did a little bit of mic testing today. Still need to find a high SPL set up that sounds good.
  11. Little update, The car has had a bit of knocking coming from the front end which could be felt when going slow/3 point turns/ lock to lock etc. As we all know 350z are a pain in the a** to get up in the air to work on I spent some time looking for a DIY garage where I can rent some lift time. Lucky for me one has opened 2 miles from my house in the last 6 months! £20 an hour or £30 half day £55 full day with full tools (SnapOn/air tools/Auto break/clutch bleeders the lot!) and 2 post lift! I rented the place for 1 hour to torque check the suspension. One of the many jobs on the list is to do the back end bushes/arms and brace to that will be nice and painted and clean this winter! Scuffed the passenger side down pipe Front sus still clean ish a year later! Anyway enough waffle... lol.. I found that the front lower brace had worked 4 of its bolts lose! I have torqued these back up and the knocking is fixed !! wooooohoooo.
  12. Just though I would see if anyone on here was interested in a steering wheel I have for a project or to be used a core for being retrimed etc?

Just thought id get my goals down on here to force me to do it New updates list UPDATED.... Fitted the C west CF canards today There very well made and fit is perfect! Stiff and strong so "may" have a chance of doing something useful as well as looking wicked! lol.. Bumper Off... 3M body panel tape as well as bolted Need to paint the bolt heads black next to finish off. Fitted and bumper back on. Pleased as its added a little more front end aggression to the car
  14. speak to abbey. I have almost 10K miles now on my built motor. I think cosworth long or short blocks are over priced.
  15. I would say cosworth block. Stroker is not needed unless you going 1000bhp plus.

Just thought id get my goals down on here to force me to do it Finally got myself a nice seat for the beast Ive fitted the seat with the bride super low max slider rails but it still sat to high for me as I'm quite tall Ended up going for an OMP motorsport mount and bolting direct to the floor so its lower but not movable now. Fitted on the slider rails OMP MOUNTS Sill could go a little lower in the mount. Fitted. Lower Arty shots
